Case: Too many tests!
Our school district has so many tests! We do standard based report cards so an average of 30 grades per report card. We also have quarterly benchmarks, SLOs at the beginning of the year, COGATS, and STAR Reading, Early Literacy, and Math assessments. It is so tough to encourage kids to give their best on all of these because they are tired of tests!!! Does anyone have tips to get them excited?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Rewards seem to work for me! My Kindergartners have to take loads of tests as well! They seem to perform for food. You might want to try rewarding them for their performance using candy. It would be worth a shot! |

Comments: I think rewards are the best thing! Instead of dreading tests, they might start to look forward to them because they will associate them with something fun! All students love to do something fun or get a small little reward. |

Comments: Testing for food may backfire when they are older and stop recovering external rewards like that. |

Comments: I think this is the least productive solution. I don't think it's as simple as a reward or piece of candy. |

Comments: While I think candy is a great reward, I also think it's time we move away from having candy as an incentive and don't really think it'd be a possible solution for test taking. |
